Witness this exchange between Marla and Emma earlier today during bathtime:

Emma: Mommy, did you always know you were going to have two kids?Marla: I knew I wanted two kids but I didn’t know I would have two for sure.Emma: And then you decided you needed Cora when you found out Henry was annoying.

Or this fun one from Sunday when I was reading the real estate section in the paper, dreaming of beach houses in Corona del Mar.

Todd: Oh, here’s a nice 3 bedroom place for only $2.5 million. Emma: Daddy, can you buy that house?Todd: No, sweetheart. Mommy and Daddy don’t have that much money.Emma: Daddy, maybe you just need to work harder.

And, finally, a nice dig from the kid up the street after I tried his Ripstik board and made it all of 10 feet before ditching.

Todd: Getting started is really tough!Max: Whoa! You made it far. That’s pretty good… for an adult.
